Sleep and immune system

👉Want to boost your immune system?

👉Make sure that you have good quality sleep!

.

Chronic sleep loss decreases the body’s production of protective cytokines, lowering the body’s response to infection and increasing our vulnerability to disease.

.

The body’s immune response is regulated by cytokines, which act as signaling molecules in immune system and the brain.

.

⏰There’s a significant body of research to show that immune function is tied closely to the body’s 24-hour circadian clock. When sleep is deprived, this cycle is weakened and disrupted, and the immune system suffers.

.

One of the best ways to stay healthy is to simply get adequate sleep on a regular basis. Practice good sleep hygiene to support healthy sleep and a strong immune system:

✔️Maintain a consistent sleep and wake schedule.

✔️Avoid alcohol in the last hour before bed.

✔️Avoid stimulants like caffeine up to 8 hours before bed.

✔️Don’t use screens for an hour or two before sleep.
